Suisham hadn't missed a kick all year. Assuming he made it and we had a second-half FG, that would force Dallas for a TD + FG to win. Judging by what I saw, it looked like Dallas was too inept to outscore us by 7 in the second half (unless we got nothing.) As it was we got another FG.

If we had made the FG in the first half we wouldn't have tried the 50-yarder leading to great field position for Dallas (which then resulted in their TD.) We could have pitched a shutout!

As an aside, when we're in training camp we see how our second-stringers perform against the opposing team's second-stringers. With the number of injuries we've had this year, the only first-stringers we have left on offense are the QB and the WRs. Unfortunately our QB has never hooked up well with our WRs. I think that since the team is playing using smoke and mirrors they've been doing amazingly well now that they're playing the teams decent records.
